Smoke filled the air, and flames soared into the sky. Amidst the ruins, Ning Yu's squad advanced with unstoppable momentum, driving the mysterious forces into a rout. The enemy was routed, cries and pleas for mercy rising and falling, as if they would collapse completely at any moment.
"Don't let your guard down, be careful of a trap!" Ning Yu shouted a warning, but he himself knew that the scales of victory had completely tipped in their favor.
"Boss, forget about everything else, let's beat them while they're down!" One of the team members was excited, his weapon glowing with intense energy, as if he wanted to devour all the enemies in front of him.
"Yeah, boss, let's catch up and wipe them all out!" another team member chimed in, his eyes gleaming with the fervor of victory.
Seeing his teammates blinded by victory, Ning Yu's unease grew stronger. The enemy's retreat was too swift and smooth, as if... they had been deliberately lured deeper.
He suddenly looked up at the dilapidated high-rise building in the distance, and his heart sank. Something was wrong; there was definitely something wrong there!
"Stop right there!" Ning Yu's voice boomed like thunder in everyone's ears. He forcefully suppressed his unease and shouted sharply, "Don't pursue a cornered enemy! We'll stop now..."
"Boss, what's wrong? We're about to win!" a team member asked, his voice filled with frustration.
"Yeah, boss, we can't let this opportunity slip by!" another team member anxiously urged.
Ning Yu took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Obey orders! Now, immediately, give it to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, a figure darted out from the shadows of the tall building in the distance, a strangely shaped energy weapon appearing in his hand.
"Not good!" Ning Yu's pupils contracted sharply, his heart sank, but it was too late to stop it...
"boom!"
A deafening explosion rang in their ears, and a violent shockwave swept over them, knocking the unsuspecting team members to the ground.
"ah!"
"careful!"
Screams and roars mingled together, and the scene that was on the verge of victory instantly turned into a living hell.
"I told you, don't chase too closely!" Ning Yu roared, his figure rushing towards the explosion site like lightning, his eyes filled with anxiety and self-blame.
As the smoke cleared, several team members were seen lying in pools of blood, groaning in pain. They were covered in blood and burns, clearly suffering severe injuries.
"Damn it! I knew things wouldn't be that simple!"
"Boss, I'm sorry, we..."
Those team members who had previously complained that Ning Yu was too cautious now lowered their heads in shame, their eyes filled with self-blame and fear.
Ning Yu suppressed his anger and quickly checked the injuries of his team members. He took out precious healing potions from his spatial ring and poured them down their throats without hesitation.
"Boss, I..." A team member was pale and his lips were trembling, as if he wanted to say something.
"Don't talk, conserve your energy!" Ning Yu interrupted him, her gaze resolute. "I will definitely bring you back safely!"
“But…” The team member wanted to say something, but Ning Yu stopped him with a look.
"Execute the order!" Ning Yu's voice left no room for argument.
The team members nodded silently. They knew this was not the time to argue; survival was the most important thing.
"Let's go!" Ning Yu waved his hand and led the remaining team members to quickly evacuate from this dangerous area.
However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the figure wielding the strange energy weapon reappeared in the shadows of the distant high-rise. A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, and his voice whispered like a demon from hell:
"Trying to leave? Too late..."
A biting wind whipped up dust, howling through the ruins as if mocking the despair of the survivors. Ning Yu pressed his lips together, his sharp gaze sweeping across his surroundings. The deliberate traces left by the enemy, and that threatening remark, all reminded him that the real battle had only just begun.
"Boss, what do we do now?" A team member's voice trembled slightly. The explosion just now and the ghostly enemy in front of them filled them with deep fear.
"What's the panic!" Ning Yu shouted, stopping the panic that was about to spread. "Everyone, stay focused! We haven't lost yet!"
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He knew that in such a critical moment, it was crucial not to lose his composure. The enemy had clearly come prepared and was fully aware of their actions. From the very beginning, they had stepped into a carefully laid trap.
"They're stalling for time." A thought flashed through Ning Yu's mind, and he finally understood the enemy's purpose. They deliberately created chaos to lure them into pursuit, all to draw them into this trap.
"Boss, look!" a team member exclaimed, pointing ahead.
Ning Yu followed his gaze and saw that not far in front of them, on the seemingly empty street, an energy barrier shimmering with an eerie light had appeared. The barrier was transparent and distorted, like ripples created by heated air, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.
"It's a spatial trap!" Ning Yu's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately understood. This kind of trap is extremely well hidden, only becoming apparent when a person or object touches it. Once trapped inside, one will be torn to pieces by the distorted space, with no chance of survival.
"What a vicious tactic!" Ning Yu gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly. He knew that with their current strength, they were simply no match for this trap.
